The project is probably the most complex the company has ever completed, Balmer says.

This is the third time Balmer Brothers has taken home Basement of the Year honors, also winning in 2001 and 2005. Winners are selected by a vote of contractors at the World of Concrete and recognized at the CFA Annual Summer meeting, held in Wisconsin Dells, Wis.

Second place in this year's competition was a project in Kansas City, Mo., submitted by Louisburg Foundation. Third place was awarded to Marone Contractors, Inc., of Thorofare, N.J. This year's contest was the largest in CFA history.
